Hard Boiled

​One can often get carried away in a good book . . . and maybe even a not-so-good one. In her award-winning signature number, Sailor falls head over heels for vintage detective novels and imagines herself as the femme fatale.

This number was featured in The Lady Aye's October 2013 article "Show Us Your Books!" in Penthouse magazine, and received the Legend's Choice award from burlesque legend April March at the 2014 Great Burlesque Exposition.

Serenity

Serenity is a classic fan dance interpretation of the movement of objects in space -- a love song from a ship to her captain.

This act was created for JoJo Stiletto's 2012 edition of Whedonesque Burlesque. Called "breathtaking" by Nerds in Babeland's Kiri Callahan, it can be performed in two versions: one with Joss Whedon context, and one without.

The Tattooed Lady

Everyone knows that sailors love tattoos, and Sailor St. Claire is no exception. In this twist on a classic burlesque number, Sailor performs as the sideshow's Tattooed Lady and shows off her inked out flesh . . . in more ways than one!

Fog City Blues

Inspired by the weather patterns in Sailor's San Francisco Bay Area hometown, the layers of fog drift away to reveal a hint of sunshine underneath in this sultry, slow-burning classic striptease with a high-energy finish.

Jolene

McTeague

Greed is the maddest kind of love. The acquistion and display of wealth can often be a perverse form of desire, and this shiny, golden, classic burlesque number explores the limits of that desire.

This classic burlesque number is a tribute to Sin City of the 1950s and 1960s -- before Las Vegas became an amusement park. It is an homage to stiff drinks, long nights at the tables, the music of the Rat Pack, and, of course, leggy showgirls. Set to Bobby Caldwell's cover of "Luck Be a Lady" and clad in an epic costume by J. Von Stratton, Sailor embodies Lady Luck herself, and you'll most definitely want her by your side all night after this lively strip!

Surrender Sorrento

Capturing the playful sexuality and high melodrama of 1960s Italian cinema, Sailor moves fluidly from slow gown and glove teases to frenetic cape play and shimmies. Clad in a palatte inspired by the high fashion looks of Emilio Pucci and set a mix of Italian classic "Sorrento" and the Elvis Presely cover "Surrender," Sailor compels you to surrender to the spell of Italia.​

Marlene

This slow-burning, smoky suit strip pays homage to Marlene Dietrich in a palette of purples and blacks. Set to a moody jazz soundtrack by Japanese songwriter Yoko Kano, this number provides the atmosphere and attitude of a cosmopolitan nightclub in the 1930s, just as the smoke settles and the bar closes up for the evening. This act earned Sailor the title of "Best Soloist" at the 2015 Great Burlesque Exposition.

Humbug

This circus sweetheart reveals that she's just a little bit stranger than the other girls in the tent. Playing with the sideshow's historical blending of real anomalies and "gaffs," Sailor performs this entire number with prosthetically enhanced hands to challenge notions of beauty and normalcy.

Originally created for Jo Jo Stiletto's 2013 production The Burl-X-Files, based on the classic season two X-Files episode "Humbug."

Gin-Soaked

Imagine a late night in the office after a long day. With only a few lights on and nearly everyone asleep, it's time to wind down after finishing that last, taxing assignment . . . and Sailor knows just how to do so. ​Originally created for The Danger Zone: Burlesque Inspired by Archer, this act is an ode to late-night love affairs with Sailor's drink of choice, and ends with a shower of gin!

Black Widow

This high-energy number takes the chair dance to a new level as Sailor channels Agent Natasha Romanoff (aka The Black Widow) in a a dangerous display of athleticism featuring chair tricks and inventive stocking peels. Originally created for the 2014 edition of Whedonesque Burlesque.

Flamingo

Covered in a flurry of hot pink feathers, Sailor embraces her long legs and embodies her equally leggy spirit animal in this tropical striptease number. Set to a mix of Perez Prado and Johnny Staccato's versions of "Flamingo," Sailor bumps, grinds, and shimmies her way to paradise . . . and out of her clothes.

This number was featured in The Libertinis Gone Wild: A Savage Romp Through the Animal Kingdom, a full-length burlesque play produced at Annex Theatre in 2014.

Red Light Special

1990s stripclub realness sets the tone for this sweet and dirty striptease to the TLC classic "Red Light Special." With a superbly high ponytail, straps and laces galore, Sailor gives you the red light special, all through the night.

"The Lone Gun Ladies" - an epic trio number with Scarlett O'Hairdye and Tootsie Spangles as The Lone Gunmen from The X-Files, if they were suddenly possessed by the need to strip their clothes off. Obviously a conspiracy.
